Screenata vs Secureframe
Secureframe is a compliance-automation platform known for pairing its dashboard with a large bench of in-house compliance experts and former auditors, plus a dedicated CMMC/defense line. Screenata is agent-first: instead of a dashboard your team drives with expert guidance on the side, Vera reads your infrastructure, writes the policies, collects the evidence, and runs the program continuously, for $499/month per framework.

Screenata and Secureframe, line by line.
Where Screenata is different
Three things Secureframe doesn’t do.
An operator, not a guided dashboard
Secureframe bundles human experts to help your team drive the platform. Screenata is the operator itself, Vera does the collection, drafting, and re-verification, and escalates only the judgment calls.
Policies from your real stack
Secureframe is template-first with AI-assisted remediation guidance. Screenata writes policies from infrastructure scans and flags commitments you can't prove, so the policy matches reality on day one.
Signed, externally-verifiable evidence
Screenata traces every policy claim to a testable control and a cryptographically signed artifact your auditor can verify outside the platform, not a PDF export.
The operational layer
Secureframe detects. Vera does the work.
Detect
Scheduled agents scan your cloud, repos, and identity provider continuously, the same signals Secureframe reads.
Do
Vera collects ~70% of evidence automatically across 500+ checks, chases the attestations a dashboard can't, and when she finds a gap she opens the remediation ticket and drafts the fix.
Verify & sign
After a human applies the change, Vera re-verifies and files a signed, traceable artifact. She escalates judgment calls rather than acting unattended, which is what keeps auditors comfortable.

Secureframe, in detail
The questions people ask about Secureframe.
Secureframe pricing
What Secureframe costs
Secureframe doesn't publish list pricing; quotes are sales-gated and scale with employee count and the number of frameworks, with reported entry points around $7,500/year and multi-framework or defense programs much higher. Screenata is $499/month per framework, published and flat, month to month.
- Priced per scope and headcount, by quote
- Expert bench is bundled, so a separate consultant is often unnecessary
- Screenata: transparent $499/month per framework, no annual lock-in
Secureframe & CMMC
Where Secureframe stands out
Secureframe's real differentiators are its in-house bench of former auditors and a dedicated CMMC/defense line, SSP and POA&M authoring, SPRS score tracking, and a managed CUI enclave. If you need CMMC or FedRAMP, or want hands-on expert guidance, that's Secureframe's lane. Screenata focuses on SOC 2, HIPAA, and ISO 27001, run by an agent rather than guided by experts.
The honest version
When Secureframe is the better fit.
- You're a defense contractor and need deep CMMC / FedRAMP support
- You want a bench of in-house experts guiding your team through the audit
- You have staff to drive a dashboard and prefer a guided, managed-service feel
Screenata is built for the 5–50 person team that needs SOC 2 to close a deal, wants policies grounded in real infrastructure, and would rather operate compliance from Slack and the terminal than a dashboard. More on who we’re for.

Questions
Screenata vs Secureframe, answered.
Is Screenata a good Secureframe alternative?
For small teams, yes. Secureframe is a GRC dashboard bundled with in-house compliance experts, strong on CMMC and defense use cases, priced by quote on an annual contract. Screenata is an AI agent that writes SOC 2 and HIPAA policies from your real infrastructure and runs the program from Slack, email, and the CLI for $499/month per framework. If you need a guided, expert-supported path, especially for CMMC, Secureframe fits; if you want the work done for you at a flat price, Screenata does.
How much does Secureframe cost compared to Screenata?
Secureframe doesn't publish list pricing; quotes are sales-gated and scale with employee count and frameworks, with reported entry points around $7,500/year and multi-framework programs much higher. Screenata is $499/month per framework, month to month, with all integrations and agent operations included.
What can Screenata do that Secureframe can't?
Screenata writes policies from infrastructure scans rather than templates, flags unprovable claims with an overpromise detector, and traces every claim to a signed artifact you can verify outside the platform. It operates as an agent from Slack, email, the CLI, and PRs, rather than a dashboard your team drives with expert help.
